This is another quick blog update but with some super news.

I'm going to be a guest at TitanCon in Belfast in September. I'll be reading on the evening of the 21st September in McHugh's and I'll be at the con all day on Saturday 22nd. Anyone there, please come and say hi!

Also up today is a guest post I wrote for Tangled Up in Words and their Why I Write segment. It almost sounds sane. Well, sane-ish. Maybe. But most importantly the Tangled Authors are have a massive giveaway which is open for about 3 more days and includes, among many other shiny & spectacular things, one of those elusive ARCs of The Treachery of Beautiful Things. Go and enter! While you're there maybe leave a comment for me, pretty please?

Just want to point people to this brilliant post by  stina_leicht at Sex and Violence and Teen Girls

So very true.

I saw the final jacket for The Treachery of Beautiful Things today. It's so beautiful. Will share as soon as I know I can.

In other news for those of you in the US, there's a goodreads giveaway of Treachery going on at the moment.

And I'll be doing another giveaway somewhere soon. In the meantime back to work I go...

I've a guestpost up on The Book Pushers today, as part of their Fantasy Appreciation Week, on fairytales in modern fantasy -- Fairytales in a modern dress. And if that's not lure enough... oh all right, you can enter to win an author review copy of The Treachery of Beautiful Things!

The giveaway ends on 13th April, and it's open internationally.

There is an interview with me up at the Open Book Society website today - talking about writing, worldbuilding, & The Treachery of Beautiful Things

Come along and say hello.

It's Fantasy Appreciation Week at the Book Pushers.

I'll be there on Friday, talking about Fairytales and giving away an ARC of The Treachery of Beautiful Things... Just a little advance notice for you.

Just a quick headsup to let people know that I'll be doing a twitter live chat with YALitChat tomorrow at 3pm EST (which is handily 8pm GMT over here). I'll be talking about The Treachery of Beautiful Things and we'll also be having a give away. There may even be a surprise (fingers crossed). So look out of the #yalitchat hastag on twitter tomorrow afternoon/evening.

And YALitChat will continue on into the evening/middle of the night when at 9pm EST (which... no, I don't want to think about what time that is over here -- I will be snoring, sorry!) many many more 2012 debut authors will be having another chat.

• Brigid Kemmerer author of  Elemental
• Nina Berry author of  Otherkin
• Kate Walton author of  Cracked
• Suzanne Lazear author of  Innoent Darkness
• Jessica Shirvington author of Embrace
• Elisa Ludwig author of Pretty Crooked
• Jolene Perry author of Night Sky and Knee Deep
• Lori Ann Duffy author of Spectral
• Rachael Harris author of My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century
• Tiffany Schmidt author of Send me A Sign

But at 3pm/8pm it's all me and Treachery (which is occassionally called #TTOBT).

More on the hopedfor surprise as soon as I can!
